Reactions and Reviews
1986
IN THE DESERT I LEARNED OF HEAT is a beautiful pon farr story. While on earth, Kirk becomes aware that Spock is in need of him. Following his instincts, he travels to Vulcan and, unerringly, on to Gol where he finds Spock in pon farr. Natasha's version of pon farr is different from most in that Spock is far from violent. He is literally helpless as a baby. The ensuing love scene is very beautiful and also a typical of most pon farr scenes. This is a gentle loving, a gentle story. And the fact that the title is taken from a poem by Leonard Nimoy somehow makes it that much better. [1]

This was good. There were some angsty bits and some wholesome bits, and overall it was an interesting read. [2]
